My Mouth was Dry 3

Following on from Saskia Bolus's take on 'My Mouth was Dry', here is Dudley Browne's description of the tense first rugby match of the season, which starts :-My mouth was dry and I thought my heart would burst from my chest. This was my first thought as I stood there watching the opposing team stroll onto the pitch, all twenty-two of them, and I got the impression that not one of them was under six foot. I had thought we would do well in this match. I was hoping we would do really well because this was not just any rugby match.
